I am trying to hatch sexlink eggs, that are dark brown and hard to candle to begin with. My first 2 eggs are now on day 8. I have candled them since day 6 and havent seen something untill toady. Inside i can make out a dark blob with a darker blob inthe middle of the light blob. I cannot make out any of the blood veins goint th the egg shell. Also when i turn the egg the blob inside free floats and turns too.

With that said do these 2 egg have little chicks inside? And will they hatch?

Mine did the same exact thing at first. I thought that there was something wrong with them. Turned out that I just needed to wait a little longer to see them clearly. Hope you see something definite soon. Definitely give them more time.
 
Ok thanks i plan to keep them in the incubator as long as possible i just doent want one to explode and put all the other eggs to waste.
 
try turning the egg while candling very slowly until u can see under the blob u should see veins,also kinda tilt the egg so u can get diif light angles on the egg, my giant eggs are brown and hard to see threw to some times but u just have to roll and get diff angles on them. sometimes i just hold it there with my flashlight until it moves .i swear sometimes i have them follow the light in the egg lol, my kids always say stay away from the light dont go to the light .
